Mohammad Arif, an Indian farmer whose extraordinary bond with a large Sarus crane made him a social media star, asks for his feathered friend to be set free after it was seized by authorities and caged in a zoo
Mohammad Arif, whose remarkable friendship with a wounded Sarus crane was rudely interrupted by Indian authorities, seeks"distressed" bird's release from a zoo cage.
Arif rescued the injured Sarus crane — a crimson-necked wetlands species that can grow up to six feet in height — and nursed it back to health. Videos of the bird and his human guardian went viral on social media and Arif amassed nearly 300,000 Instagram followers by documenting their exploits. Arif went to visit the crane on Tuesday and video of their emotional reunion was shared online, with footage showing the bird flapping its wings excitedly and jumping up and down.
